Phester I agree, get rid of the 35hp and get a 15hp for kicker and the tin boat. 8)

I don't know if you remember but I got my enclosure on here from Franco. $500 (or $550, can't remember) and I installed myself. It was on his '83 I/O which is a little different than the V-21 but I made it work.

Had to buy a snap wrench/tool to put new snaps on the side windows, but all front snaps were able to be lined up fine. Also, on the rear curtain on both corners there is a strap sewn in with a hook on the end. I took small bungees and fastened it down to the hole in the rod box and this keeps the back curtains from blowing around like mad. I could install snaps on the livewell and fishbox to hold the back curtains in place but I'd just rather not drill any holes ya know? ;)

As far as the kicker's fuel hookup, I am planning to use the same fuel line connection as the outboard. The drawback is that if the problem is fuel contamination then the kicker will not save the day.

Thanks Phester. ;)
so I guess a Kicker can get ya home, but would take awhile.

Hey Guys

Maybe you can help me... why is that I can't see those pics? ???

Re: phester's ride.
 

I guess the 1st consideration on what gas is whether or not the two motors use the same gas...could be one straight: one mixed...VRO would be straight gas comin' from the tank for instance; if kicker needs mixed, then ya gotta carry extra...assumin' the gas matches, and you have room, carry 6-gal tank for kicker AND have capability to hook to main tank...that way you've covered yourself from both directions ;) ;D ...

Re: phester's ride.
 

Are you lookin' at page 1 of this thread...if you are and still not gettin' pics, then your computer's not loadin' the pcs... :-[ ...

Re: phester's ride.
 

Thanks for the pics Tin of a sweet rig, nice job on the teak Phes. And yes for me the kicker motor came as #2, it is only a 9.9 so I can use the V in fresh water lakes here in NJ. But it pushes the V cuddy to 10 mph. Should get me home if nothing else. I hooked up a duall outlet single inlet new fuel filter to handle it. I also have a five gallon plastic tank that I take if fishing off shore to have a seperate fuel source if needed, it fits on the floor in the cuddy until needed, but I seldom bring it for my mostly close to shore fishing
